Chocolates & the city

I might be the only person that does not like chocolate. At all. Rarely I give it a shot, without a doubt when there is coffee in the mix. Had a chance this weekend to check out TCHO on Embarcadero, lady informed me that the factory (?) was next door, not sure she was on the phone kind of, so I just browsed around. Cute little place (tiny!!) with many possible little gifts and blue bottle coffee while you decide. Lovely. TCHO Pier 17, San Francisco.

lavanna/ yes! I knew I wasn't the only one, my girlfriends make me feel like so :P though I loved m&m's a kid...

rat trap/ Oh man that is a huge answer. Well rite now, for the coffee would be Four Barrel, Philz, Blue bottle and Martha Brothers. But then I have more places, I could go on for hours, for specific reasons (quiet place to read, meet friends, outside patio, comfy couch) - you get the idea :)

D!/ yes a coffee shot is always an incentive!stats? im game. that'd be a sweet project.

If it's dark chocolate, then count me in, I really never had the taste buds for it. But if it's milk or white, then I'm one of those so-called choco-lovers hehehe...

Browsing for interesting blogs to read led me to your doorstep. SF is one of my dream cities, and for four years of undergrad, I got to be around the vicinity. Unfortunately, I ended up moving back to So Cal, your blog brings me back to some of these places, and Im looking forward to the others :-)

I feel like we could start a group here - I too do not care for chocolate. The exceptions:XOX in North Beach (GREAT for gifts!)Belgium - come on, how could you not?Flourless chocolate cake at Hyde Street Bistro ca. 2003

Coffee? Well...now I agree with you there too! Martha's was my constant fave.

PS Maybe you have said, but what kind of bike do you ride? It is muy cute!

sigrid/ oh those are all good spots! it always makes a difference when the packaging and the place is super cute, like this tiny TCHO gem. I gotta check some of your recommendations soon, as many of my friends are chocolate lovers. Martha, yea - talk about getting wired fast.

my bike is an astra, motobecane from the 70s. I dont have super accurate info on it, but will do a post about it soon ;)
